Question

"Omnis cellula e cellula" is a generalization, given by

• A. Lamarck.
• B. Dutrochet.
• C. Leeuwenhoek.
• D. Virchow.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Virchow.

Rudolf Virchow explained that cells divided and new cells are formed from pre-existing cells. "Omnis cellula e cellula" is also attributed to the Cell Theory, that works on a similar principle. The cell theory asserts that every organism is formed of the same units of the organisation, known as cells.

So, D is the correct option.
